The house was clean and inviting. Our communication with host was outstanding. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of items that we needed for cooking. The access to the beach was an easy stroll. We enjoyed time spent on the swings under the house and the rockers on the wrap-around porch. We had a great stay and would love to visit again!

Relaxing Beach Vaca

Such a great place to stay with just a short walk to the beach. The house had everything our family of six needed. Plenty of room, comfy seating in the living, large dining table, and nice bedrooms/bathrooms. The outdoor swings and rockers were also a favorite in the mornings and evenings. We would love to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Pedeaux

Host profile image
This beach cottage we call 'Morning Glory' has been in our family for about 30 years! It has been a place for us as well as many other families to make special and lasting memories while building strong relationships. For others, it has been an amazing refuge for much needed get-away’s. Our mother bought this house after a terrible hurricane and transformed it into a 'home away from home' for her family and for those who just needed a place to go! We sincerely hope and pray that you will have the 'best of the best' times at the Morning Glory!

Why they chose this property

We encourage you to choose this property because it is prepared just for you with the greatest of love for the island, and a heartfelt desire for you to enjoy!
